Vodafone World of Difference.gifPenarth man lands placement with Cardiff-based accessible cycling charity
A 35-year-old man from Penarth, South Wales has beaten off competition from 1,100 other candidates to win a placement with charity Friends of Pedal Power, which seeks to make cycling more accessible to people with disabilities in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.
Andrew Radcliffe is one of 500 people from across the UK to have been given the opportunity to spend 2 months working for a charity of their choice under the Vodafone Foundation’s World of Difference programme.
He first became aware of the charity, which seeks to make cycling accessible to people with disabilities by providing bicycles and tricycles for hire, six years ago after losing his sight.
Mr Radcliffe told the Penarth Times: "I’m massively excited at being given this opportunity to really make a difference,” and will work at the charity as a business manager, helping to draw up its objectives for 2010 and beyond.
Friends of Pedal Power is based at Pontcanna Caravan Park off the city’s Cathedral Road, operating from premises built with the aid of a grant from the Big Lottery Fund, and full information regarding the range of services it offers are available on its website.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
